The All-New Subaru Trailseeker EV Impresses One of Australia's Leading Electric Vehicle Experts
The excitement around the all-new Subaru Trailseeker continues to grow, with one of Australia's most respected electric vehicle reviewers giving Subaru's newest EV glowing praise after an extensive real-world test.
After driving the Trailseeker for more than 2,000 kilometres across highways, gravel roads and a variety of Australian conditions, The Electric Viking (Sam Evans) described the Subaru Trailseeker as one of the most impressive electric vehicles he has ever tested.
If you're searching for an electric SUV that combines Subaru's legendary capability with outstanding efficiency and everyday practicality, the Trailseeker is proving to be one of the most exciting new EVs coming to Australia.
Independent EV Testing Delivers Outstanding Results
Unlike short media drives, Sam Evans spent weeks living with the Subaru Trailseeker, allowing him to thoroughly evaluate how it performs in real-world conditions.
Even more impressively, the Trailseeker was compared directly against two highly regarded electric SUVs—the Zeekr 7X and XPeng G6—vehicles that Sam owns and drives regularly.

After experiencing all three vehicles back-to-back, his conclusion was simple:
"...the one I enjoyed most on a day-to-day basis was the Subaru."
That's a significant endorsement from someone who spends every day testing and reviewing electric vehicles.
Why the Subaru Trailseeker Stands Out
Throughout his review, Sam highlighted several areas where the Subaru Trailseeker exceeded expectations.
Among his standout comments were:
- "It is in my top five cars of all time that I've tested."
- "I've tested this car for 2,000 km and the efficiency is legitimately amazing."
- "The Trailseeker is just over 2,000 kg – the biggest car here, with the biggest boot and most ground clearance, and the only genuinely off-road-capable one of the three."
- "If you leave the tarmac now and then, do a bit of gravel driving, even a bit of snow, and you want a light, efficient, proper EV wagon, this is a seriously impressive car."
These comments reinforce what Subaru has designed the Trailseeker to be—a true all-round electric vehicle that delivers confidence on sealed roads while remaining capable when adventures take you beyond the bitumen.
Subaru Capability Meets Electric Innovation
The all-new Subaru Trailseeker isn't simply another electric SUV. It brings together everything drivers love about Subaru with the latest electric vehicle technology.
Drivers can expect:
- Outstanding electric driving efficiency
- Genuine Subaru all-road capability
- Spacious interior and generous cargo capacity
- Comfortable ride for everyday commuting and long-distance touring
- Advanced Subaru engineering and safety technologies




For Australian drivers looking for an EV that doesn't compromise when the road ends, the Trailseeker is shaping up to be one of the most versatile electric vehicles available.
